A possibility to measure elastic photon–photon scattering in vacuum
Photon–photon scattering in vacuum due to the interaction with virtual electron-positron pairs is a consequence of quantum electrodynamics. A way for detecting this phenomenon has been devised based on interacting modes generated in microwave waveguides or cavities [G. Brodin, M. Marklund and L. Stenflo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 171801 (2001)]. Here we materialize these ideas, suggest a concrete cav...
متن کاملElastic Photon-Photon Scattering through Four-Wave Coupling
According to the theory of quantum electrodynamics, photon-photon scattering can take place via exchange of virtual electron-positron pairs. Effectively, the interaction can be formulated in terms of non-linear corrections to Maxwell’s equations, and hence may be treated by classical non-linear electrodynamics. Due to the strong electromagnetic fields needed to reach any noticeable effect, phot...
متن کاملTwo-photon Exchange in Electron-proton Elastic Scattering: Theory Update
Recent theoretical developments in the studies of two-photon exchange effects in elastic electron-proton scattering are reviewed. Two-photon exchange mechanism is considered a likely source of discrepancy between polarized and unpolarized experimental measurements of the proton electric form factor at momentum transfers of several GeV. This mechanism predicts measurable effects that are current...
متن کاملObservables in elastic electron-deuteron scattering with two-photon exchange
The general form of the cross section as well as the polarizations of electron-deuteron elastic scattering are given. Two-photon exchange effects are analyzed. Possible signatures of the two-photon exchange effects in the electron-deuteron elastic scattering are discussed. PACS: 13.40.GP, 25.30.-c, 25.30.Bf, 24.70.+s, 13.60.Fz
متن کاملCharge Asymmetry as a Probe of Two-photon Effects in Elastic Photon-hadron Scattering
We consider the production of a lepton-antilepton pair by real photons off a hadronic target. The interference of one and two photon exchange amplitudes leads to a charge asymmetry term that may be calculated explicitly in the large-t limit in terms of hadronic distribution amplitudes. A rather compact expression emerges for the leading order asymmetry at fixed angle in the centre-of-mass of th...
